Question 44

An electric stage turntable rotates a piece of scenery. It is tested before and after a modification.

The table shows the energy transfers during each test.

Energy transferBefore modification in kJ\mathrm{kJ}kJAfter modification in kJ\mathrm{kJ}kJ
electrical energy supplied6.06.0
transferred usefully to the kinetic energy store of the scenery4.14.8
transferred to the thermal energy store of the machinery1.00.7
transferred by sound0.30.2

The remaining energy is transferred to the thermal energy stores of the surroundings. There are no other energy transfers.

Calculate the decrease in energy transferred to the thermal energy stores of the surroundings after the modification.
